Fashion MNIST dataset is very much similar to MNIST dataset and this seeks to replace the original MNIST to be used as the benchmarking dataset. From the description of the dataset on Kaggle we have the following: Each training and test example is assigned to one of the following labels:

  • T-shirt/top
  • Trouser
  • Pullover
  • Dress
  • Coat
  • Sandal
  • Shirt
  • Sneaker
  • Bag
  • Ankle boot

Each row is a separate image Column 1 is the class label. Remaining columns are pixel numbers (784 total). Each value is the darkness of the pixel (1 to 255)

Showcasing the items in the dataset¶

In [11]:
plt.imshow(X_train[10], cmap="binary")
plt.axis('off')
plt.title(class_names[y_train[10][0]])
plt.show()
No description has been provided for this image
In [12]:
# First 10 images in the dataset.
def plot_digit_img(image_data):
    image = image_data.reshape(28, 28)
    plt.imshow(image, cmap="binary")
    
plt.figure(figsize=(15, 15))
for idx, image_data in enumerate(X_train[:10]):
    plt.subplot(10, 10, idx + 1)
    plot_digit_img(image_data)
    plt.axis("off")
    plt.title(class_names[y_train[idx][0]])
plt.subplots_adjust(wspace=0, hspace=0)
plt.show()

Average Image for Each Class¶

In [13]:
# Generate subplots
fig, axes = plt.subplots(1, 10, figsize=(20, 2))

# Iterate over each digit (class)
for digit in range(10):
    # Find indices of the current digit
    digit_indices = np.where(y_train.astype('int8') == digit)[0]
    # Calculate average image for the current class
    avg_image = np.mean(X_train[digit_indices], axis=0).reshape(28, 28)
    # Plot the average image
    axes[digit].imshow(avg_image, cmap='binary')
    axes[digit].set_title(class_names[digit])
    axes[digit].axis('off')

# Show the plot
plt.show()
No description has been provided for this image

We can see that Sandal, Bag have a higher variation when compared to others as the pixels are across various positions and this might lead to the model having difficulties in predicting these items.

Pie Distribution of Dataset¶

In [14]:
# Convert y_train to a one-dimensional array of integers
y_train = np.array(y_train).flatten().astype(np.int8)

# Count the occurrences of each class
class_counts = np.bincount(y_train)

# Plot a piechart using plotly
fig = px.pie(values=class_counts, names=class_names, title='Percentage of samples per label')
fig.show()

We can observe that the train dataset has equal number of instances for each class and there is no bias in the train dataset.

Pixel Value Distribution in the dataset¶

In [15]:
# Plot the distribution of pixel values
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(10, 5))
plt.hist(X_train.flatten(), bins=50, edgecolor='black')
plt.title('Pixel Value Distribution')
plt.xlabel('Pixel Value')
plt.ylabel('Count')
plt.show()
No description has been provided for this image

We can see that the pixel values are equally distributed between 10-255 except a significance count of values at 0

The model follows a sequential architecture, featuring stacked layers.

  • Initially, a Flatten layer converts input images (28x28 pixels) into a one-dimensional array (784 elements).

  • Subsequently, two Dense layers with 128 neurons each, utilizing the ReLU activation function, are included.

  • Lastly, a Dense layer with 10 neurons applies the softmax activation function for class probabilities. The model comprises 203,530 trainable parameters.

Graph Overview:

  • The image is a line graph titled “Training and Validation Loss.”
  • The x-axis represents the number of epochs, ranging from 0 to 14.
  • The y-axis represents the loss, ranging from 0 to 17.5.
  • There are two lines on the graph: one blue representing “Training Loss” and one orange representing “Validation Loss.”
  • The blue line starts at a high point, indicating a high training loss at epoch 0 but decreases sharply as epochs increase.
  • The orange line also starts relatively high but decreases steadily and then flattens out as epochs increase.

Training Loss (Blue Line):

  • Starts at an accuracy of approximately 0.74 at epoch 0.
  • Decreases sharply as epochs progress.
  • Indicates effective learning from the training data.

Validation Loss (Orange Line):

  • Begins at an accuracy of about 0.72 at epoch 0.
  • Experiences fluctuations between epochs 2 and 8.
  • Stabilizes and increases steadily after epoch 8.

Conclusion: The graph shows that both training and validation loss decrease over time, with training loss decreasing more sharply. This could indicate that the model is learning effectively from the training data but might be approaching a point of overfitting since the validation loss is not decreasing at the same rate.

We can see that initially at 0 Epoch the loss was the highest and as the number of epochs incresed, the loss value kept decreasing.

  • There is a significant differnce between loss of Epoch-0 and Epoch-2 for Training dataset.
  • In the Test Dataset there is a gradual reduction in the loss.

Graph Overview:¶

The image is a line graph titled “Training and Validation Accuracy.”

  • X-axis: “Epoch,” ranging from 0 to 14.
  • Y-axis: “Accuracy,” ranging from 0.70 to 0.86. Two lines are plotted on the graph:
  • A blue line labeled “Training Accuracy.”
  • An orange line labeled “Validation Accuracy.”

Training Accuracy (Blue Line):¶

  • Starts at approximately 0.74 at epoch 0.
  • Increases steadily to about 0.86 at epoch 14.

Validation Accuracy (Orange Line):¶

  • Begins at about 0.72 at epoch 0.
  • Fluctuates between epochs 2 and 8.
  • Stabilizes and steadily increases to about 0.82 at epoch 14.

Conclusion:¶

The graph illustrates the progression of both training and validation accuracies over epochs during the model’s learning process. Initially, there are fluctuations in the validation accuracy while the training accuracy increases steadily. However, after epoch eight, both accuracies increase consistently, with training accuracy always higher than validation accuracy.

Best EPOCH: 15 (Highest Accuracy Point)¶

As before this epoch, the validation accuracy was continuously improving.

The graph you provided illustrates the training and validation loss during the training process of a machine learning model. Here are the key takeaways:

Training Loss:

  • The blue line represents the training loss.
  • Initially, the training loss is high (around 6) at epoch 0.
  • As training progresses, the loss sharply decreases to just above 1 by epoch 2.
  • Subsequently, the training loss continues to decrease gradually.

Validation Loss:

  • The orange line represents the validation loss.
  • At epoch 0, the validation loss starts near 5.
  • Unlike the training loss, the validation loss decreases more steadily and smoothly as epochs increase.

This graph indicates that the model is learning and improving over time. The training loss rapidly converges, while the validation loss shows a smoother decline.

Graph Analysis:

The graph illustrates the training and validation accuracy of a model over epochs. Here are the key takeaways:

Training Accuracy:

  • The blue line represents the training accuracy.
  • Initially, the training accuracy increases sharply, reaching around 0.85 by epoch 2.
  • However, after epoch 2, the training accuracy plateaus and remains relatively constant.

Validation Accuracy:

  • The orange line represents the validation accuracy.
  • Unlike the training accuracy, the validation accuracy increases more gradually.
  • As epochs progress, the validation accuracy catches up with the training accuracy.

This graph indicates that the model is learning and improving over epochs. However, the gap between training and validation accuracy suggests potential overfitting, where the model performs well on training data but may not generalize well to unseen data.

Evaluating Model's Performance on Validation Set¶

Analyzing the Loss for Train and Validation Data¶

val_loss_list = metrics['val_loss']

# Generate the x-axis values for epochs

Graph Analysis:

The graph illustrates the training and validation loss during the training process of a machine learning model. Here are the key takeaways:

Training Loss:

  • The blue line represents the training loss.
  • Initially, the training loss is high (around 6) at epoch 0.
  • As training progresses, the loss sharply decreases to just above 1 by epoch 2.
  • Subsequently, the training loss continues to decrease gradually.

Validation Loss:

  • The orange line represents the validation loss.
  • At epoch 0, the validation loss starts near 5.
  • Unlike the training loss, the validation loss decreases more steadily and smoothly as epochs increase.

This graph indicates that the model is learning and improving over time. The training loss rapidly converges, while the validation loss shows a smoother decline. It’s essential to monitor both to prevent overfitting and ensure generalization to unseen data.

Graph Analysis:

The graph illustrates the training and validation accuracy of a model over epochs. Here are the key takeaways:

Training Accuracy:

  • The blue line represents the training accuracy.
  • Initially, the training accuracy increases sharply, reaching around 0.85 by epoch 2.
  • However, after epoch 2, the training accuracy plateaus and remains relatively constant.

Validation Accuracy:

  • The orange line represents the validation accuracy.
  • Unlike the training accuracy, the validation accuracy increases more gradually.
  • As epochs progress, the validation accuracy catches up with the training accuracy.

This graph indicates that the model is learning and improving, but the gap between training and validation accuracy suggests potential overfitting.

Best EPOCH: 7 (Highest Accuracy Point)¶

  • As after this epoch, the validation accuracy keeps reducing.
  • Probably the reason being model overfitting on the test data.
